The humanitarian catastrophe in Haiti is turning out to be a classic illustration of anti-Americanism in seven easy steps.
1 Calamitous events take place in a chaotic place (think Bosnia, think Somalia, think Iraq in 1991).
2 The U.N and the U.S intervene.
3 The civil government proves to be useless or malign, or both. The U.N isn’t up to the job. The only effective force in sight is the U.S. According to today’s Guardian, John O’Shea, the head of Goal, a medical charity, has called on the U.S to take charge of the whole operation. So has a major U.S aid agency (“which declined to be named for political reasons”).
4 There are only two possible outcomes.
5 The U.S takes over. If this happens, it will be accused of “creating a military occupation under the guise of humanitarian aid” and “occupying” the country outright. (Apologies, my memory’s failing me. These criticisms have been aired already. The first quote’s from President Chavez of Venezuela. The second’s from Alain Joyandet, France’s “Co-operation Minister”.)
6 The U.S doesn’t take over. If this happens, it will be criticised for “not doing enough” - and isolationism.
7 So either way, the U.S loses.
Se imaginan un terremoto como el de Haití pero en Cuba...?
ReplyDelete¿Notarían la diferencia en la calidad de vida?
ReplyDeleteAdemás de eso, me refería a la parte política... los marines desembarcando? Francia o Venezuela pondrían la plata? Yo me imagino que los cubanos de Miami no se quedarían quietos.
ReplyDeleteSería una excelente excusa para los pobres cubanos para escapar de esa atrocidad de país. No por la Nación per se, obvio.
ReplyDeleteLas críticas desde Francia son una de las tantas que caben en la categoría "es facil hacerse el progre pero vivir del capitalismo en un país desarrollado"
